I didn’t believe my wife’s reddit post. Now I’m hearing the same thing.

UPDATE to my wife’s previous post:

(PART 1) https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/s/uGQQmlmczA

I heard it this morning.

I fucking heard it.

My name is Tim.

I’m Holly’s husband.

I read her post and I sent her away. Oh god. I sent Holly away. I can’t believe this is happening.

I received a panicked call from my wife two days ago when I was at work.

She said it was urgent, to come home right away, and then she hung up the phone.

Of course I ran straight home. I was sure something had happened to the baby.

When I walked through the door there she was. Just sitting at the kitchen table, silent.

She had her cell phone on the table pointing toward the empty seat across from her.

At first I thought she’d found my gambling apps again.

Like an idiot I said “Honey, I can explain… I forgot to delete those apps a long time ago…” She held a hand up in an effort to silence me.

I felt so stupid. My phone was in my pocket where it had been all day. I don’t know why it would’ve been that.

Although I wouldn’t put it past Holly to find something out like that using only the Internet and a dream of catching me in my lies.

I swear if I had known the truth I wouldn’t have called her doctor and told him she was experiencing postpartum psychosis. The ambulance came to get her and took her away.

I didn’t even go with her because of the baby.

I read her post. There, at the table. She let me read the whole thing in silence. When I finished reading I couldn’t speak. I just stared at her feeling confused as hell.

She was calm when she said “I wrote that. It’s all true. This has been happening for days, Tim. It’s real. Please believe me. I don’t know what to do. I can’t take it anymore.” Her voice cracked “Please, make it stop.”

Her words sounded scripted. Like she’d been planning what to say to me for weeks. Still, I didn’t believe her. I wrote her off as delusional.

She was silent as the ambulance pulled up. When she realized what I’d done.

The first time I heard the voice was this morning at 6am. I was woken up by that awful noise coming through the monitor.

“Wakey wakey”.

Just as before.

I woke in a sweat-drenched panic. When my eyes finally adjusted I noticed the monitor was tipped over. I grabbed it as fast as I could.

The monitor showed the crib.

My son crying. Louder than I’d ever heard him cry.

And nothing else.

At first I wondered if maybe the stress of the whole experience a few days ago was just messing with my mind.

Maybe I made it up.

But then it happened again. Two hours later. I had drifted off for what felt like two seconds, but I heard it again. Like before, I didn’t see anything on the monitor.

That’s when I went back to my wife’s post.

I tried all of the things that commenters suggested. Salt around the crib. Ordering all negative entities away. Cleansing the space with light. Dragon and phoenix fire, as one of the commenters said. I feel like I’ve tried everything. Even the wackiest shit.

The weirdest thing is that after the second time, I decided that I wouldn’t go back to sleep. I’d stay up for the next two hours and bring the baby and crib into my room.

I grabbed my hockey stick and waited it out. Sat on the edge of the bed and never took my eyes off my son.

I stayed awake the whole two hours.

I didn’t see it.

It never came.

But my son continues to wake up howling.

Holly always heard it when she was asleep.

I’m going to stay up for as long as I can.

Please send more advice if you can think of anything.

I’m thinking about calling my local church but I don’t know how my story will be received and I don’t want them to take my son away from me.

I’ll update soon.
